Are you perhaps tired, bored or uninspired by how unoriginal fiction sometimes is? Especially the so-called imaginative fiction genres such as fantasy, science-fiction and paranormal fiction? Ever felt like you would like to have a go at reinventing certain character types? Rewriting certain lore? Or perhaps just want to see how your own take on a popular fictional figure or trope might turn out?

Essentially this is what 're0visioning' is about; you using the influences you've read and loved to reshape , reimagine, or even personalize certain elements of your favourite types of fiction. Why should a Vampire burn in daylight? Why are werewolves allergic to silver? Perhaps you might have your own interpretations of such canonical fictional stereotypes? Published writers are doing it; Stephanie Meyer has rewritten Vampire lore to produce the celebrated and scorned Twilight series. The Cullen's are not your average Vampire, in fact calling them such might run the risk of the old Count turning over in his grave; a new breed of vampire for a new age of reader, think of it as an evolution of popular fictional figures, your only limit is your imagination.

Shall we?
